Default MA401: "Destination Host Unreachable"

Hi,

I just bought a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA WLAN card, which is recognized by
my Pentium-MMX laptop with Gentoo Linux 1.4 automatically.

PCMCIA is switched off in the kernel and wlan support is on, but no
modules are compiled - instead, I've installed pcmcia-cs.
I'm using WEP-128 encryption.

And I can ping myself (192.168.116.2), but I can't ping anything else
(not even the gateway) - I always get "Destionation Host Unreachable".

Power management is disabled in the BIOS.

Software output (I've changed the key and the ESSID for security's
sake):

ifconfig:
